Lichtenberg, Ph.D., is chief executive officer and co-founder of InSphero AG, (Schlieren, Switzerland). He says SLAS and InSphero share a long history, as both were founded around the same time, and Lichtenberg’s company has participated at every SLAS International Conference and Exhibition since the very first in 2012. He is a microfluidics engineer working on 3D cell-based, automated in-vitro assays and a start-up entrepreneur.
Lichtenberg feels he can be an advocate for startups and small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs). With InSphero based in the center of Europe, he stands ready to support the expansion of SLAS into the region and hopes to help fine-tune the strategy for this culturally diverse part of the world.
